State And Religion In China

"In State and Religion in China, Anthony Yu takes a fresh look at Chinese religion and its relation to politics. He argues, against those who claim that Chinese politics has been traditionally secular, or even that the Chinese traditionally had no religion, that religion has deep roots in the Chinese past, and that the Chinese state has from its creation always interfered in religious matters."--Jacket.

First sentence: IN THE COMPLEX AND THORNY RELATIONS between Western nations and China, one contentious issue that has received persistent attention concerns religion and its treatment by the government of China.
